Computer Consulting

Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator I have been learning about/working with computers since 1984. I got my first job working as a teacher in 1989 and started working as a computer consultant in 1990 in Norway. I have completed 9 certifications in Microsoft operating systems and have made sure I have followed the market and continued learning to keep up with all the new hardware and software technology.

My services span the following areas:

Install, maintain and troubleshoot servers, network, workstations, printers (not hardware errors), routers, other hardware.
Install, maintain and troubleshoot: Operating systems (Microsoft Windows 9x, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 and 2000/20003/2008 server).
Office systems (Microsoft Office 9x, 2000, 2003 and 2007).
Intuit Quickbooks (installation and transfer).
Antivirus and antispyware installation and removal of viruses, spyware and other malware.
Other software that you need or are using.
Recommendations about upgrades or new installations.
Upgrading your computer with more efficient power supplies, bigger hard drives or other components that you may need.

When I started learning about computers I was amazed by networks and servers and how they work together. After many years in the computer business I have several certificates from Comp TIA and Microsoft in hardware and software.

Go Green!

The love for designing and constructing quality computers, servers and networks became a part of my professional work. Building energy efficient and quality computers is of prime importance to me. Most computers will save as much as 85% of their power by getting new power supplies, and your computer will still do what you want it to do. This also applies to older computers that have a standard power supply that can be changed out. Yes, the computer will initially cost a bit more, but you will normally save the extra money in about 3-12 months, depending on your usage. This is a simple step to care for the resources of our Earth.

Reinstall, Replace or Reuse Your Computer

For all of my customers that have old or slow computers we offer a FREE evaluation of what to do with their computer.

Make sure that you have a FULL baciukp of all data. We will do a free evaluation and let you what we think will be the best solution.

Scenario	Your cost:	Solution:
Recycle: The computer has a CPU that is faster than 1GHz and the memory is adequate for normal use (512MB or more). You don't want it anymore, but you want it to be available for someone else.	$0	We will test the components and make sure it is working fine. We will then will erase everything on the computer and reinstall the operating system, antivirus solutions and OpenOffice. If the computer came with other software we might consider using that. We put it out for sale so that someone else can use it. They pay $75 for our time in reinstallation and testing. There is no warranty on parts etc.
Recycle and replace: The computer is so old (slower than 1GHz processor) that there is no use in giving it to anyone and you don't want it. You might want to buy a new computer from us.	$25	Wipe out all data so that it will not be possible to retrieve any data from the hard drives. Bring the computer to the recycling center for you.
Reinstall and reuse: You want the computer to be formatted and reinstalled so that it works as good as when it was new, and then use it or give it to someone you know.	$75	Format the drive and reinstall the OS, all drivers and MS updates. If any other programs are required, they will be added to the bill based on how much time it takes.
